Abstract

The invention provides cropping systems for managing weeds in crop environments. The cropping systems comprise, in one embodiment, transgenic plants that display tolerance to an auxin-like herbicide such as dicamba. Method for minimizing the development of herbicide resistant weeds are also provided.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 35 . (canceled) 
     
     
         36 . A cropping system for minimizing the development of a herbicide resistant weed in a crop-growing environment comprising:
 a) planting in a field a crop plant having tolerance to glyphosate, glufosinate and/or auxin-like herbicides;   b) applying at least a first herbicide treatment comprising glyphosate, glufosinate, and/or an auxin-like herbicide to the crop growing environment to control weeds;   d) identifying a location in the field infested with weeds resistant to glyphosate, glufosinate or an auxin-like herbicide; and   e) applying an amount of glyphosate, glufosinate, and/or the auxin-like herbicide effective to control the weeds resistant to glyphosate, glufosinate, or an auxin-like herbicide.   
     
     
         37 . The system of  claim 36 , wherein the plant comprises a transgene conferring herbicide tolerance to glyphosate. 
     
     
         38 . The system of  claim 37 , wherein the transgene conferring herbicide tolerance to glyphosate encodes a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate resistant 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), glyphosate oxidoreductase (GOX), glyphosate-N-acetyl transferase (GAT) and glyphosate decarboxylase. 
     
     
         39 . The system of  claim 38 , wherein the crop plant comprises a transgene encoding a GAT polypeptide. 
     
     
         40 . The system of  claim 39 , wherein the GAT polypeptide is GAT4601 (SEQ ID NO:2). 
     
     
         41 . The system of  claim 36 , wherein the crop plant comprises a transgene encoding DMO and/or AAD. 
     
     
         42 . The system of  claim 36 , wherein the crop plant comprises a transgene encoding a phosphinothricin acetyltransferase. 
     
     
         43 - 49 . (canceled)
